I like how you've established your priorities ;)

Haha nice, you must be single or have a very cool gal, mine is very cool but she wouldn't put up with 2 cars worth of parts in our living space. Great work you're doing too! Cars look awesome!

Thanks-She is great and have been dating for 40 years. We have our own houses. It is a topic of conversation between us on how we can ever live together?!
Living in separate houses definitely keeps the romance alive.
I'll post a picture of my custom built bedroom.
I also have really big speakers bolted to the walls...and ML amps that weigh 150lbs

Replaced the canister braided lines with new and I'm amazed how nasty but still strong the existing lines were.
I originally put the canister in backwards DUh!

Engine Builds-LMN Motorsports
 
LMN Motorsports in Virginia built both my 87 and 88 3.2-3.4 Carrera motors
I live in Miami with trust and integrity being a requirement for a successful long distance build

This is the 4th 911 that Lutzo has built for me. I've known Lutzo for over 20 years now
Lutzo has won as part of a team at the Rolex 24 and has worked with some of the influential drivers we still see today
I went every month for 5-10 days to learn from his crew on how to disassemble/assemble different components I wasn't familiar with
I would never attempt to build a Carrera 3.2 engine or a G50 transmission, there are too many experience based nuances that are above my pay grade.
His shop is down to earth as is his crew.

His shop does everything from constructing and maintaining race cars to
servicing Panamera's. He has the air cooled knowledge that is quickly evaporating
And we are both old as dirt and neither of us will ever grown up. Good qualities...

We used the Mahle 3.4 jugs and the JE 10.25 Pistons
Webcam Billet 20/21-Steve did a custom program
Engine assembly is time consuming/all measurements are triple checked and I'm a OCD clean person-so I got to clean all the casings and parts.
Machine work was done at Abacus Racing in VB

Clean or Replace/Bead Blast/Paint/Clear/Repeat
 
Happy New Year to everyone
Holidays were insane but I'm finally back on the Pcars

Purchased Rennline adjustable spring plates on their Christmas sale
and got 2 new Bilstein rear shocks from Tire Rack also on sale
I'm amazed on how everything is original and identified on this California car
Date coded 1987 for a 1988 build
I wonder what the date codes will be on the 1987?
Rebuilt and Refinished the starter
Cleaned up the wiring in prep for the rear suspension rebuild
Replaced body hardware with stainless
Finished the oil lines to the tank and cooler
Replaced all the throttle linkage and putting anti seize and Molycote on everything that moves
Today is bead blast day for the rear sway bar, rear fender supports and coil bracket
My compressor is gonna be running hot today

Living/Dining/Audio room is also under construction-raising the floor 8 inches
House is still full of parts...
